The quantitative maps of groundwater productivity, storage, and depth to groundwater can be downloaded below. Each map is available for download as a 5 km resolution grid (xyz ASCII file), and also as a high resolution PDF file.The quantitative maps are the first produced for Africa a ...

The GRACE twin satellites, launched 17 March 2002, are making detailed measurements of Earth's gravity field changes and revolutionizing investigations about Earth's water reservoirs over land, ice and oceans, as well as earthquakes and crustal deformations. The two GRACE satellites h ...

Shallow groundwater affects terrestrial ecosystems by sustaining river base-flow and root-zone soil water in the absence of rain, but little is known about the global patterns of water table depth and where it provides vital support for land ecosystems. We present global observations ...

The dataset is the new version of water use data in https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.897933 with some revision in the coordinate in the dataset. The dataset constitutes the first reconstructed global water use data product at sub-annual and sub-national/gridded resolution that is derive ...

The GlobCover Portal provides access to the results of the GlobCover project.GlobCover is an ESA initiative which began in 2005 in partnership with JRC, EEA, FAO, UNEP, GOFC-GOLD and IGBP. The aim of the project was to develop a service capable of delivering global composites and land ...

The Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC) is pleased to announce the availability of the The NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) Global Food Security-support Analysis Data 30 meter (GFSAD30) Cropland Extent data produc ...

This dataset provides near-surface meteorological data for driving land surface models and other terrestrial modeling systems. It blends reanalysis data with observations and disaggregates in time and space. The dataset is currently available at 1.0 degree (plus 0.5 and 0.25 degree), ...

ERA-Interim is a global atmospheric reanalysis from 1979, continuously updated in real time. The data assimilation system used to produce ERA-Interim is based on a 2006 release of the IFS (Cy31r2). The system includes a 4-dimensional variational analysis (4D-Var) with a 12-hour analys ...

A global depth to bedrock (DTB) dataset was developedfor use in Earth System Models and other applications as well (Shangguan et al. 2017). It provides three variables, the absolute DTB in cm, the censored DTB in cm within 0¨C200 cm (here values equal to 200 cm indicate ¡°deep as or d ...

The new global erosivity map is a critical input to global and continental assessments of soil erosion by water, flood risk and natural hazard prevention. Current global estimates of soil erosion by water are very uncertain, ranging over one order of magnitude (from around 20 to over ...

The rainfall data for the Zambezi catchment, on a daily basis at a 50km resolution from 1930 to 2015.

HydroSHEDS is derived primarily from elevation data of the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) at 3 arc-second resolution. SRTM data were used in different versions and processing stages, including SRTM-3 unfinished data; DTED-1 finished data; and CGIAR void-filled SRTMv2 data. A ...

The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) was flown aboard the space shuttle Endeavour February 11-22, 2000. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) participated in an international project to acquire radar data ...

The SRTM digital elevation data, produced by NASA originally,has been a major breakthrough in digital mapping of the world. It is provided in an effort to promote the use of geospatial science and applications for sustainable development and resource conservation in the developing wor ...
